Would You Like To Ride In My Beautiful Balloon?




Hello ~ Hello

It's time for another duel between the Divas and Darlings. This month Darlene is the hostess for the Darlings and I am the hostess for the Divas. We chose the theme "Would You Like To Ride In My Beautiful Balloon?". Darlene and I chose this theme together in February, when Darlene flew to Milwaukee from the east coast for Camp-Stamp-In-Oga. It was so good to see her, Barb, and Terry. Such special memories for me. 

Anyway, for my kit I chose to use a retired set from My Favorite Things called Up Up and Away. The balloon stamps have coordinating dies, so I die-cut some of those to go in the kit. Also in the kit was DSP from Fancy Pants (Life is Beautiful collection), some ribbon, blue gemstones, buttons, chipboard accents, and craft doilies.  

Thanks for stopping by! Hugs ~ LJ

First of all LJ thanks for the fun kit. I really liked working with it once I started thinking about what to do. It came together in a fun way for me. I love your card. Great use of the doily, seam binding images actually the whole card. You really did a great job with it all....thanks again my friend....
